Smaller brains. Thicker skulls. More cerebrospinal fluid. Really it’s the human brain that’s special, in that it is especially huge and fragile. It needs the skull to support it and can’t stand up under its own weight. You can freeze and defrost small mammals like guinea pigs and rats but cryofreezing a human brain would cause it to just fall apart.
